Product Features in Detail
Unmatched Focal Length and Photo Quality
Let’s be honest, sometimes we all want a lens that has the versatility of a zoom while having the pristine quality of a prime. With this Nikon Lens, you can have both! Sporting a more-than-generous 120-300mm focal length that takes stunning and crisp photos, the Nikon AF-S 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR Lens will surely become the most potent photography tool in your arsenal.
VR Image Stabilisation
Shakes and vibrations are the two biggest threats to taking the perfect photo. That is why the guys over at Nikon made sure that this lens will be fully equipped to handle those. Featuring a powerful vibration reduction mode that can go from minimal to extreme (NO VR, normal, and Sports), you can be sure to capture objects that move quickly and even those subjects that erratically change speed!
Arneo and Nano Crystal Coating
With optimal quality in mind, this Nikon lens is built with Arneo and Nanocrystal coating which greatly reduces those pesky flares and abysmal “ghostings” that light-sensitive images always have. This helps the shooter not worry too much about less than ideal light sources and focus on framing the perfect shot while the powerful Nikon lens does its technological magic!
9 Rounded Diaphragm Opening for Stunning Bokeh
Always looking for those terrific bokeh effects on your close-up shots? Luckily for you, this lens boasts an impressive 9 Rounded Diaphragm Opening which is the primary reasons for those stunning Bokeh. Absolutely perfect for weddings and other dramatic portrait shots, this Nikon lens is one of the most versatile one out there that does not compromise on quality and speed.
Silent Wave Motor
Sometimes, shoots will take us to the most peaceful of places. And it is the photographer’s duty to keep things quiet. The beauty and majesty of animal sanctuaries, religious abodes, and other sound-sensitive spots can still be captured in all their magnificent detail thanks to the lens’ silent wave motor. Letting photographers take a hundred shots without so much as a peep.
Comes with the New SR Lens Element
Chromatic aberration is a phenomenon that occurs when varying wavelengths of light does not collect at the same point. The result is colour fringing in your images! With this Nikon lens’ new SR lens element, chromatic aberrations will be greatly compensated thanks to its specialized dispersion glass and light-refracting properties. Making your images as faithful as to how you want them!
